There's a problem with dependencies between netfslib and fscache as each
wants to access some functions of the other.  Deal with this by moving
fs/fscache/* into fs/netfs/ and renaming those files to begin with
"fscache-".

For the moment, the moved files are changed as little as possible and an
fscache module is still built.  A subsequent patch will integrate them.

<title>fscache: Use clear_and_wake_up_bit() in fscache_create_volume_work()</title>

fscache_create_volume_work() uses wake_up_bit() to wake up the processes
which are waiting for the completion of volume creation. According to
comments in wake_up_bit() and waitqueue_active(), an extra smp_mb() is
needed to guarantee the memory order between FSCACHE_VOLUME_CREATING
flag and waitqueue_active() before invoking wake_up_bit().

Fixing it by using clear_and_wake_up_bit() to add the missing memory
barrier.

<title>fscache: Use wait_on_bit() to wait for the freeing of relinquished volume</title>

<id>8226e37d82f43657da34dd770e2b38f20242ada7</id>
<content type='text'>
The freeing of relinquished volume will wake up the pending volume
acquisition by using wake_up_bit(), however it is mismatched with
wait_var_event() used in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision() and it will
never wake up the waiter in the wait-queue because these two functions
operate on different wait-queues.

According to the implementation in fscache_wait_on_volume_collision(),
if the wake-up of pending acquisition is delayed longer than 20 seconds
(e.g., due to the delay of on-demand fd closing), the first
wait_var_event_timeout() will timeout and the following wait_var_event()
will hang forever as shown below:

 FS-Cache: Potential volume collision new=00000024 old=00000022
 ......

Considering that wake_up_bit() is more selective, so fix it by using
wait_on_bit() instead of wait_var_event() to wait for the freeing of
relinquished volume. In addition because waitqueue_active() is used in
wake_up_bit() and clear_bit() doesn't imply any memory barrier, use
clear_and_wake_up_bit() to add the missing memory barrier between
cursor-&gt;flags and waitqueue_active().

The type of a-&gt;key[0] is char in fscache_volume_same().  If the length
of cache volume key is greater than 127, the value of a-&gt;key[0] is less
than 0.  In this case, klen becomes much larger than 255 after type
conversion, because the type of klen is size_t.  As a result, memcmp()
is read out of bounds.

This causes a slab-out-of-bounds Read in __fscache_acquire_volume(), as
reported by Syzbot.

Fix this by changing the type of the stored key to "u8 *" rather than
"char *" (it isn't a simple string anyway).  Also put in a check that
the volume name doesn't exceed NAME_MAX.

After waiting for the volume to complete the acquisition with timeout,
the if condition under which potential volume collision occurs should be
acquire the volume is still pending rather than not pending so that we
will continue to wait until the pending flag is cleared. Also, use the
existing test pending wrapper directly instead of test_bit().

Store the volume coherency data in an xattr and check it when we rebind the
volume.  If it doesn't match the cache volume is moved to the graveyard and
rebuilt anew.

Changes
=======
ver #4:
 - Remove a couple of debugging prints.

Add cache methods to lookup, create and remove a volume.

Looking up or creating the volume requires the cache pinning for access;
freeing the volume requires the volume pinning for access.  The
-&gt;acquire_volume() method is used to ask the cache backend to lookup and,
if necessary, create a volume; the -&gt;free_volume() method is used to free
the resources for a volume.

<title>fscache: Implement volume-level access helpers</title>

<id>e6acd3299badbfb5fb0231d42481d4f5dedf5599</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a pair of helper functions to manage access to a volume, pinning the
volume in place for the duration to prevent cache withdrawal from removing
it:

	bool fscache_begin_volume_access(struct fscache_volume *volume,
					 enum fscache_access_trace why);
	void fscache_end_volume_access(struct fscache_volume *volume,
				       enum fscache_access_trace why);

The way the access gate on the volume works/will work is:

  (1) If the cache tests as not live (state is not FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_ACTIVE),
      then we return false to indicate access was not permitted.

  (2) If the cache tests as live, then we increment the volume's n_accesses
      count and then recheck the cache liveness, ending the access if it
      ceased to be live.

  (3) When we end the access, we decrement the volume's n_accesses and wake
      up the any waiters if it reaches 0.

  (4) Whilst the cache is caching, the volume's n_accesses is kept
      artificially incremented to prevent wakeups from happening.

  (5) When the cache is taken offline, the state is changed to prevent new
      accesses, the volume's n_accesses is decremented and we wait for it to
      become 0.

<title>fscache: Implement volume registration</title>

<id>62ab63352350e881ae693a8236b35d7d0516c78b</id>
<content type='text'>
Add functions to the fscache API to allow volumes to be acquired and
relinquished by the network filesystem.  A volume is an index of data
storage cache objects.  A volume is represented by a volume cookie in the
API.  A filesystem would typically create a volume for a superblock and
then create per-inode cookies within it.

To request a volume, the filesystem calls:

	struct fscache_volume *
	fscache_acquire_volume(const char *volume_key,
			       const char *cache_name,
			       const void *coherency_data,
			       size_t coherency_len)

The volume_key is a printable string used to match the volume in the cache.
It should not contain any '/' characters.  For AFS, for example, this would
be "afs,&lt;cellname&gt;,&lt;volume_id&gt;", e.g. "afs,example.com,523001".

The cache_name can be NULL, but if not it should be a string indicating the
name of the cache to use if there's more than one available.

The coherency data, if given, is an arbitrarily-sized blob that's attached
to the volume and is compared when the volume is looked up.  If it doesn't
match, the old volume is judged to be out of date and it and everything
within it is discarded.

Acquiring a volume twice concurrently is disallowed, though the function
will wait if an old volume cookie is being relinquishing.


When a network filesystem has finished with a volume, it should return the
volume cookie by calling:

	void
	fscache_relinquish_volume(struct fscache_volume *volume,
				  const void *coherency_data,
				  bool invalidate)

If invalidate is true, the entire volume will be discarded; if false, the
volume will be synced and the coherency data will be updated.

Changes
=======
ver #4:
 - Removed an extraneous param from kdoc on fscache_relinquish_volume()[3].

ver #3:
 - fscache_hash()'s size parameter is now in bytes.  Use __le32 as the unit
   to round up to.
 - When comparing cookies, simply see if the attributes are the same rather
   than subtracting them to produce a strcmp-style return[2].
 - Make the coherency data an arbitrary blob rather than a u64, but don't
   store it for the moment.

ver #2:
 - Fix error check[1].
 - Make a fscache_acquire_volume() return errors, including EBUSY if a
   conflicting volume cookie already exists.  No error is printed now -
   that's left to the netfs.
